Sok An, Deputy Prime Minister, informing that the United Nations and the Group of Interested States have led to the conclusion that it is now possible to concur with the selection of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces High Command Headquarters as the premises for the co-investigating judges, the Prosecutors' Office, The Extraordinary Chambers, the Pre-Trial Chamber and the Office of Administration.
